Burke,

You can try the Comfort Inn in Mystic and mention that you're coming to the Sea Music Festival. If they have anything, you may be able to get a room there for just one arm, rather than an arm and a leg, because they have special rates for the festival.

Other than that, look at the Motel section of the Accommodations link from the Mystic web site. There are a lot of places listed and they won't all have filled up, I suspect. Groton is about half an hour away, not bad at all.

Far as I know they haven't posted the schedule and may not get to it this year. They sent a preliminary schedule to the volunteers, so people can plan the hours they'd like to work. (That's fine for selling programs, which is what we'll probably be doing.... People doing sound are on a different kind of schedule I think.)

Did anyone else notice the Fatal Flaw in the preliminary program -- they had scheduled Dan and Bonnie for two different sessions at the same time! I called and pointed it out, but I felt silly because I was sure they would have already caught it. Nope, they hadn't, and the programs were due at the printer's that very afternoon. Obviously they've got it rearranged now, thank goodness.

Karen, looking forward very much to seeing you. Actually, the closer it gets, the more I'm looking forward to seeing Everybody. Barry, I sent you a long PM.

Dick, I want a patch. Is there any chance you'll ever get self adhesive patches? I want to wear it NOW and knowing me, it will be at least a year and a half before I sew it on.
